Questions and Answers

What is the purpose of grading in the determination of particle-size distribution for aggregate?

  • To assess the particle-size distribution for aggregate (correct)
  • To control the segregation of aggregate particles
  • To specify the amount of cement used
  • To determine the water-cement ratio for concrete

Why are grading limits and maximum aggregate size specified for concrete?

  • To control the setting time of concrete
  • To influence the color of the concrete
  • To determine the strength of the concrete
  • To impact the amount of aggregate used, workability, and durability of concrete (correct)

What is the purpose of using gap-graded aggregate in concrete?

  • To reduce the water-cement ratio
  • To obtain uniform textures in exposed aggregate concrete (correct)
  • To improve the pumpability of the concrete
  • To increase the strength of the concrete
